Google's New Laptop Can't Compete With The MacBook Air (GOOG, APPL)

The Pixel is the first high-end laptop from the search giant. Its stand-out feature is a high-resolution screen, which places it on par with Apple's Retina display MacBook Pro laptops.

Despite having a gorgeous screen, Google's laptop fits more in line with Apple's MacBook Air line of notebooks.

We decided to pit the two against each other and see which comes out on top.

Google's new laptop the Pixel has a 12.85-inch display. It pushes out a stunning 2560 x 1700 resolution. That's the best available on any laptop.

Apple's MacBook Air comes in two screen sizes, 11.6 inch and 13.3 inch. The 11-inch has a 1366x768 resolution and the 13-inch has a 1440x900 resolution. That's noticeably lower than the Pixel's resolution.

The standard Pixel laptop has a 32 GB solid state hard drive, the LTE version bumps up the drive to 64GB. Both come with 1 TB of cloud storage for 3 years via Google's Drive service.
